John —

I want you to know just how important you are to this campaign. When I think about my most important supporters, it’s not about how much they gave.

I think about the people who were there when I needed them most. So far, nearly 1 million people have contributed to either my first campaign or my re-election.

Now that we’re in an election year and attack ads are already running, I need you more than ever. 

But here’s the thing, the NRSC is spending MILLIONS on attack ads against me and we don’t even have a Republican opponent yet. If this is what they’re doing now, imagine what they’ll be doing once we do.

And I have to be honest with you: with so much on the line and the election right around the corner, we can’t afford to miss our end of month goal. 

So, I’m humbly asking:

Can you please split a $5 contribution between my re-election campaign and Kirsten Gillibrand’s? Help us reach our end of month fundraising goals and defend this seat from the corporate special interest groups that want to beat us.

Thank you in advance for chipping in today. It means a lot.

Mark
